> Documenting the September 11, 2001 Attacks on the World Trade Center:
> Five Years On


The challenges
> of documenting the attacks include capturing records created in a wide
> variety of media, addressing the preservation of these records, and
> providing access to them while addressing concerns over privacy and
> civil liberties. There is a need for archivists, historians, curators
> and local government historians to review these documentation efforts in
> conversation with representatives from the family/survivor community,
> first responders and other federal, state and local government agencies
> to ensure that the historical record is equitable and correspondingly
> broad.
>
> On March 29, these groups will convene for a daylong symposium to
> review documentation efforts to date and to determine the course for
> future documentation activities.
>
> After lunch, participants will break out into small groups to discuss
> what has worked so far, what needs improvement, what else needs to be
> done and what resources are needed to carry this work on.  Following the
> individual sessions, the group will reconvene to discuss their findings
> and develop a strategy for further work.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone planning to attend this event that
might be willing to share copies of any of the materials/presentations they
receive on the topics being discussed.
